Tissue engineering is an emerging field in which engineers, biologists, and clinicians together are attempting to create functional tissues utilizing cells and biomaterials. This course introduces students to the clinical need driving this field, the fundamental engineering and biological principles one must consider when engineering a tissue, and the various strategies currently being pursued to engineer a wide range of tissues and organs. Critical issues in this field include biomaterials development. Teams of students will work together during the final portion of the course to develop a strategy for engineering a tissue/organ of their choice.
